Heh… guess some of my anime/manga roots are showing through with this one. Ya know, changing styles like this is really freaking out my brains! Guess the last one will be next week, huh? The last, but not the least… The epic origins tale of… Ciggy McPufferson! >)

Ps… changed the layout of the header just a tad… hopefully it’s not too obnoxious. >

I’m thinking of switching out the top ad with ContextWeb… I’m not 100% sold on them yet, we’ll see. And probably most people’s ad blockers will nix it anyways… hmm… You can see what’s behind the banner HERE. >)

Wait how is coffin gonna tell his story! And why dosent he talk?
Does he haz a speech problem?
Hand singnals?
Silent ninja?
Voicebox did not survive when he tured undead?
Ir is his voice mosteruly scary!

This is exactly what I expected from Nith. Great writing! I guess it doesn’t really show how he met the group, per say, so that is still a mystery.

I agree completely with Draco though, I am giddy with anticipation to see how Coffin’s backstory will be revealed. Charades? The above mentioned smoke signals? Ell always seems helpful, maybe she will lend a hand? Wait, those might go hand in hand with our favorite chain smoking girl… :D Anyhow great stuff!

Well, next week we’ll see how Coffin Ciggy McPufferson meets the group, so all the “first meetings” arc will be complete. Lol… I’m so tempted to make a prank page with him though! Lets just say, Nith and Coffin go way back…

ha, well… I’ve had this idea of how I wanted to draw it for a while now… going to be a little intense if I’m imagining it right, cause switching styles is a real pain… but it’ll be ok (ah man! I totally should have done it the old comic book batman style! oh well… I’m sure I’ll need more flashbacks later…)

Completely forgot (how could I?! Bad Draco, no food for you today!) — I’m absolutely amazed by all the styles you seem to grasp so naturally. I mean, just look at it! It’s the third or fourth style already! You could easily create new webcomics using these and they would look really nice.
I don’t want to butter you up, but what a talent you’ve got there!
Keep it coming, plz :]

awe, why thank you! I have some other projects in mind… for another time in a galaxy far far away, but I wanted to try my hand at a “manga” someday. and it would be hilarious to do a whole comic series in that old “steamboat” style!

maybe it’s the ADD nature of my art brains… but I’ve always like trying new styles and whatnot. you’ve probably seen some of my stuff on DA, but it’s almost hard to believe I used to draw and paint in “ultra realism”… which was a pain. I kinda dig this cartoonish style though, and I’ve got some fun new prints coming that mix this and one of my old series together. it’ll be fun! more on that later. >)

ha, I guess that can be applied… it’s supposed to be more manga-ish. I used to “read” the old Rumiko works, like Ranma 1/2 and stuff from the Dragon Ball guy. Of course, I couldn’t understand a word, but the action pretty much speaks for itself. Since both are martial arts series, I’d wager the formatting isn’t too different from an old samurai movie.
